Hobbies

 In reading we have been learning about hobbies. Our goal is: use prior knowledge to connect to the text, make connections between texts and real life experiences, make connections between texts, make connections between other texts and general knowledge to expand meaning and pose questions. I made a top 10 poster of ten hobbies that I think bring happiness. I hope you enjoy!

Have you ever been sick with kids being mean to your children just because of what they are wearing? Well with a school dress code that will never happen again!

Hi, I'm Xavier and I will be telling you why schools should have  a dress code. I think schools should have a dress code because it helps students not to bring their attention to fancy and expensive clothes. Dress codes in school settings reduce social conflict and peer pressure that may be associated with appearance.

If we don't have a school uniform then kids clothes can get ruined and ripped. If schools didn't have a dress code then parents would be forced to buy their children new clothes every week. But with a school dress code you can just 1 or 2 uniforms. This is beneficial for all the students that can not afford expensive clothing.

Having a dress code has many other benefits such as: It makes everybody look neat and tidy. It makes the school look more professional. It doesn't cost as much money. What is your opinion on a school uniform?
